1t was during the war-and the in crease is to be found almost in variably in the localities where white labor prevails. Some esti- mates place the proportion of the Southern cotton crop raised by white labor at one half. The truck farming, dairying and fruit-grow- ing that are coming to the front as features in Southern agriculture are exclusively in the hands of white persons. These facts are re- markable when it is remembered tEat the negroes have increased more rapidly than the whites, and that until several years after the war they were the only farm-work- CTS in many of the Southern States.

Nothing is as yet known regard ing the fate of the Apache rene gades, says the Citizen, notwith- standing the reports from Wash ington that they were to be par doned. A belief is prevalent how ever, that the death penalty has been passed upon the five ex- scouts. If the punishment to be inflicted had been less than death General Miles himself would have had the handling of it, but the death sentence necessitates a Washington approval, and as the impression abroad is that the findings of the late court of in- quiry have been sent to the Presi- dent, the inference is that the sen tence of death has been passed up- on them,

The Salt River Valley New,

The Salt River Valley News, one of our brightest exchanges, says: 'The attempt on the part of some of the press of the Territory to hold Governor Zulick responsible for the misdoiugs of some of his appointees is futile. Arizona, for ten years past, and probably never before, has had an administration in which which the honor of the Territory has been more scrupu- lously conserved. Honesty and economy have been enforced in every department, extravaganza in legislati n has been checked, the credit of the Territ ry has been strengthened, property valuations have been increased and Arizona has been placed on the highway that leads to q wealthy and pros perous empire. The News has faith in the courage, honesty and ability of Governor Zulick. and confidence has been justified by kie conrse as executive of the Ter llt"ry

There Is no finer place for the investment of capital than right here in Arizona, in the construct ion of dams and reservoirs. There are hundred of box canyons in this territory, which if they were pro- perly damned up, would hold mil lions of gallons of water which could be used for irrigating our mesa lands, and furnishing water for thousands of cattle on our foot hill ranges. In the event that we cannot get capital to take hold of this grand enterprise, it would be wise move on the part of our territorial government to take pris- oners out of the Yuma pen, and construct a few of these dams and rent or sell the water so obtained to our people. We venture to say that if this system was inaugural ed, that in less than five years there would be more land reclaimed by this method than from the natural streams. It is a well known fact that some of our very best lands are those laying high up on the mesas, and which can not be reached from the streams below. The Walnut Grove storage com pany, which has nearly completed their mammoth dam across the Hassayampa, will shortly demon direction.-Phenix Advance.

Partial investigations into the agricultural condition of the South ern States make clear the interest ing facts that in nearly every case of increased production of a staple crop white labor is to be credited with it. The sugar crop in Louis jana is raised almost exclusively by negroes-and it exhibits no in crease; there is not as much sugar raised now as there was twenty seven years ago. The rice crop in South Carolina, cultivated almost exclusively by negro labor, shows a falling off, too, while the rice crop in Louisiana, grown mainly by whites, is increasing. Cotton is raised over a large area in the South, and the crop is now two Gfths (2,OO0.Go0 balcs) larger than

The disgust inspired by the rav- ings of Futile and Fairchild IS leading in Iowa to the formation of new organization of veterans. The fact that Futile lives in Iowa and is well known there did not prevent, but perhaps contributes to, this local revolt against the politicians who assume to speak for the G. A. R. A meeting of veterans was held the other day at Des Moines, and Futile was form ally denounced by resolution for insulting the Chief Magistrate of the Union. Another resolution denounced 'the dependent pen sions bill, prepared by the Repub- lican politicians seeking cover under the cloak of the G. A. R." The Des Moines Leader announces that in two weeks the new organ ization, "The Association of Ma tional Veterans" will number fifty lodges in Iowa, and a membership of ten thousand men. The heroes of the revolution disbanded their Society of the Cincinnati for fear that it might exert bad influence upon politics. Experiences may show that tue G. A. R. will have to follow their example. It seems to be beyond question that it IS being dragged into politics to further purposes inimical to the public welfare.

The "blackmailing scheme" as various of the territorial papers have called it, which involved the title to some property in Phexix. is simmering down to nothing. A recent issue of tho Herald, which has been the most rabid of all in it's denunciations of the "black- mailers," says that the land title troubles are in a fair way to ami cable, immediate and complete ad- justment to the satisfaction of all concerned, and a few days more will probably settle the whole bus mess, which has been vastly az gravated by bitter personal mat ters of an entirely foreign nature and long standing among some of the parties concerned in the affair. As matter of.fact the Herald has pulled in its horns considerably on the question, and now it is in or der for the balance of the territo- rial papers, who have made the matter personal with them, so that they might get another whack at couple of the Democratic off cials, should do the same thing. The decision of the suit pending will merely decide whether or not member of prominent banking firm at Phenix secured possession of certain lands there in a fraud ulent manner and issued illegal titles to the same. It Is certainly much better for Phenix that the question should be settled at once and for all time. If the titles are not good, then the settlers on the land should hold the authors of fraudulent deeds responsible.

w. A. Hersey, a commercial tourist, representing California house, was arrested at Prescott for refusing to pay the drummer's license imposed by the last Legis- lature. A no.le prosequi was re- gently entered in the case by Dis trict Attorney Herndon, he becom- ing convinced that, under recent decisions of the United States Su- preme Court, the law is clearly and unmistakably unconstitutional. This virtually settles the question of drummer's license in this ter ritory.

An interesting case was recently decided at Detroit. involving the legal right of guard to shoot an escaping prisoner. Private Stone had been sentenced by military tribunal to two years imprison- ment for perjury. He attempted to escape from custody and was shot dead by his guard. A mili- tary investigation was held and it was decided that the guard, Ser geant Clark, was justified in shoot ing Stone. A strong feeling of in dignation sprung up in the com munity, and Clark was arrested on a civil process and charged with murder. Eminent counsel was re- tained on both sides and the ar guments were most interesting. In his decision the Judge heId that as there were no felonies recog- nized in military law this case must be judged by wider stand ard. The soldier, he held, gives up, when he enlists, many of his rights, including trial by jury, and submits himself to punishments in case of dereliction of duty which to civilians seem entirely dispro- portionate to the offense. Discip- llne in the army must be main tained. Whether Stone was felon or not did not make any difference. In seeking to escape he was guilty of a second offense, and in shoot ing him Sergeant Clark only did his duty under military law. Judge Brown therefore discharged Clark. The result was a great qualification to the army officers.

Hughes of the Star, having run little short of material for his favorite pastime, IS now engaged in Dlackmailing the code. There Is something peculiar in this ac- tion, too. There is not a cent to be made by it and as court com missioner he gets a copy free. Therefore his object in blackmail- ing the book is inexplleable on any other ground than that he just wants to keep his hand in.
